This policeman is highlighting a perpetually massive nuisance on every highway All these trucks forcefully occupy the right most lane, mess up traffic & also cause accidents Levy heavy fines on them MORTHINDIA Nitin Gadkari

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari Installing cameras , stricter fines for speed and cancelling the licences as punishment will force them to abide by the rules.

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari absolutely

Is America completely bifurcated, or is there a silent majority tired and disoriented by the political chaos? T&Q's @nimayi3 and @OutrageOverload discuss in "Outrage and Empathy."

I also was of the same view....but blame it on the Population and general indiscipline in India....the slow lane is full of bicycles, motorcycles and random people......at most places on Highways too ( especially near villages/towns/cities). It must be nightmare for the Truck drivers to drive in the slow lane without making an accident.....unless EVERY highway has a dedicated bicycle-motorcycle lane, I think they will continue to drive in the fast lane.

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari I completely agree with your view and have experienced this while driving on highways The trucks choose the last right lane instead of the designated left last lane to avoid hitting bikers ( mostly local village vehicles ) and getting into issues . Not a justification , though!

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari Another most irritating thing is slow moving commerical tempos occupy right lane blocking traffic even on empty roads. This is most common on Mumbai roads.

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari This is considered normal by the truck drivers. No matter how much you honk, these guy's won't budge at all. Only option, heavy fines to be levied on these truck driver's only then you'll see them move and not otherwise. Unless it doesn't pick their pocket all are futile attempts

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari In US also, only fines and no alternative, ensures traffic discipline

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari These officials and #RTO have become deaf and dumb. I have been highlighting since last 6 years. Ministry also doesn't have any intent to act on this. @PMOIndia @HMOIndia

@MORTHIndia @nitin_gadkari Left most lane is not practical for trucks -occupied by local bus and auto, trucks have to change lane too often increasing driver work load and risk of accidents -truck drivers prefer to drive at a steady speed non stop -give last lane to trucks, middle lane for fast moving car

Best way to solve this is. Stop them on highways and have TV in trailers. Wait for a scheduled slot in about 3 or 4 hours and make them watch the video of safe driving, ask questions and repeat it for them until they get it right. Now due to fear of loss of time if got caught for wrong reasons they will all start following rules. This is for everyone not only truck. Because time is more dear to all than money today!
